Mine’s the wallpaper from the Haunted Mansion (from the hallway with all of the knocking doors)–so it’s a bunch of evil faces and eyes. ---

My cat. She’s black and white, and incredibly photogenic. I took the picture with my digital camera a day or two after I got it, and I just loved how detailed the fur was, and the look in her face is so calm and pretty! I have sent the picture to the local SPCA to be added to the calendar for 2005 - I hope they include it! ---

Now, seriously, what do you think I’d have as wallpaper? Seriously? Yosemite National Park, of course! Both Mac and PC have Yosemite wallpaper. Though my old PC has _Stargate SG-1_ wallpaper. Just for variety. 😉 ---

Currently, a pretty cool promo shot of the entire cast of Firefly. Awesome shot, but I’m a little too lazy to upload to my server and link to it now. If anyone’s interested, send me an email (see profile) and I’ll throw it on the web. -P ---
